Today Connor was encouraged to take his teddy bear to school with him. He was somewhat hesitant to do this but when he got home from school, I could see that he had a great day with it.
The Teddy Bear Clinic was sponsored by the Clarion Hospital which has been organized to ease children's anxieties about going to the hospital. They watched a video about going to the hospital, they saw a puppet show about safety, they made get well cards for the patients of Clarion Hospital and then they had their actual "Teddy Bear Clinic". At the clinic the nurses helped with listening to the bears heartbeat, took their blood pressure, weight and height. Connor's teddy bear came home with band aids and it must have had some blood drawn. He said he has a lot of fun with this and he even brought home a tee shirt from the event!
